[PyQt] Having a problem with QTcpSocket

[Nick Gaens]

Hello all,

I'm trying to get two clients to speak to each other, using an instance of QtNetwork.QTcpSocket for each client.
The clients are on different computers with IP's: 192.168.1.100 and .102

On the first client, I run the code below:

------------------
def __init__(self):
    self.socket = QtNetwork.QTcpSocket(self)
    self.socket.setLocalAddress(QtNetwork.QHostAddress("192.168.1.100"))
    self.socket.setLocalPort(55555)
    self.socket.readyRead.connect(self.receiveData)

def connectToOtherClient(self, ip):
    self.socket.connectToHost(QtNetwork.QHostAddress(ip), 55555)
    if self.socket.waitForConnected(10000):
        print "Connected!"
    else:
        print self.socket.state() # Prints '0' (zero), meaning UnconnectedState

------------------

So I create a QTcpSocket, I tell it the IP I want to use and after having the user asking for the remote IP address, connectToOtherClient() is invoked.

On the second client, I just create an instance of this class, using "192.168.1.102" as IP there in __init__(). No invocation of connectToOtherClient() there, ofcourse..

The problem is: it doesn't connect at all.. The socket state remains "UnconnectedState"..

What am I doing wrong here?

Wkr,
